Speights v. Crosby

U.S. Courts of Appeals

Decided March 20, 2006

U.S. Courts of Appeals · decided 2006-03-20

Applies 28 U.S.C. § 2254 (Antiterrorism and Effective Death Penalty Act of 1996)

Decided 2006-03-20

PER CURIAM:

¶1Appellant Spencer L. Speights (“Speights”), a Florida prisoner serving an enhanced life sentence for robbery with a firearm, appeals pro se the district court’s denial of his motion for entry of judgment as to a motion for summary judgment he had filed as part of his petition for writ of habeas corpus brought under 28 U.S.C. § 2254. Because the record demonstrates that the district court entered final judgment as to Speights’s habeas petition, we conclude that the district court properly denied Speights’s motion for entry of judgment as unnecessary since the claims as addressed were rendered moot by the earlier final judgment on the habeas petition. Accordingly, we affirm the district court’s order denying Speights’s pro se motion for entry of judgment as to a motion for summary judgment that he had filed as part of his petition for writ of habeas corpus brought under 28 U.S.C. § 2254.

¶2AFFIRMED.
